My car has been at BMW Midtown for freakin 6 days! I came in for very minor work (so I thought). Squeeking steering and a weak battery. The dealer claimed that it has taken them 4 days to diagnose the problems and that parts had to be overnighted. I certainly hope that the techs did not do some other damage to the car and that they are scrambling to order body panel parts.

I didn't get a Malibu as a loaner though. They gave me a 2011 528i which is pretty sweet ride.

Got my car back last night finally....it took 6 days for them to figure out that the squeeking steering was actually loose plastic trim in the front fender wells. All they did was replace the plastic push-button rivets. I don't know....the squeeking sounds I was hearing sure didn't sound like squeeky plastic.

so i might return to the nazi sled somewhere in 2011/early 2012. i've got my eyes on ordering an f10 m5. me likey.

The M3 is gone and you still have the Datsun, right? I'll agree that even the regular f10's look really good. I haven't driven one yet, but a friend that has, said it felt really big and heavy. The M5 will have a lot of power and no doubt be very tunable (for even more power)..
